Opportunities and Threats
for Barging Freight
Success stories and risks to the plan
Successes
• Where are the success stories on inland waterways?
• Steady if modest past growth
• Projections along the same slopes
• Outsized positive impact on commodity transportation
Successes
• How do we encourage more traffic onto waterways?
• Align barging with shipper supply chain objectives
• Rates
• Low risk of damaging commodity
• Rates
• Worker safety
• Rates
• Low environmental impact
• Rates
Successes
• How do we make waterways more attractive to shippers?
• River visits by shippers
• Pubic outreach via RiverWorks Discovery (.org)
Successes
• How can barge lines encourage this discussion?
• Evolving according to shipper incentives
• Larger tows
• Smaller crews
• Small ship model
• System critical in Europe and Asia
• Could be adopted here if incentives aligned
Successes
• Use of Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) CAN create uniform comparisons
of projects
Risks
• Unreliability of locks narrative
• Belied by risks of trucker shortage & poor road narrative
Risks
• Inadequate funding narrative
• Belied by actual funding trends
• Belied by same for roadways
• Belied by risks railroads face attracting private capital
Risks
BCA:
•One Stakeholder’s benefit is another’s cost
•Can you switch the positions and analyze anew?
•Sufficient budget to do honest BCA
Risks
• Environmental narrative
• Belied by intractability of that crowd for road and rail development
• BCA considered immoral by segments of environmental
stakeholders
• Dark side of sustainability
• Resource constraint
• Fundamental pessimism
Risks
• Freight rates don’t currently support honest profit
• Barge fleet supply and demand imbalanced
• Grain and coal fleet classic
• Liquid overbuild looming
• Self-inflicted wound
• Discipline for thee but not for me
Risks
• Cabotage through the Jones Act
• Message to foes:
Realign the much more distorted airline cabotage before maritime
• Lessons:
• National security
• Preserving the industrial base
• Reciprocal rights
Risks
• Mariner licensing creates upward wage pressure
• Ties back to freight rates and cabotage
• Dark side of our “Great news about high-paying jobs”
Pathways
Numbers and narrative
• Each can illuminate or obscure
• Combined effectively, solid figures and
compelling stories persuade and defend.
• Congress
• Administration
• Public
Discussion
